I could maybe see Flybe taking over the London Stansted route, as for:
Liverpool - pulled of the route a few years back
Bristol - tried before and never lasted long
Glasgow Prestwick - already serving Glasgow International from BHD
East Midlands - they already serve Birmingham from BHD
mysecretsmile; Flybe (or British European at that time) did try BFS STN at 3 or 4 day on a designated Bac 1-11, I think it was early 90s!!!
I cant see Flybe looking at any of these routes but Liverpool could be a possibility as Flybe is better established at LPL now since taking over BaConnect, and also Ryanair have developed strong traffic on this route. I do however that that Easyjet will definately have to take a strong look at some of these routes to protect it's patch, ie Liverpool and Stansted. However, they will need to be careful if they do look at BHD that any exit from STN does not create a vacuum that BFS may accept Ryanair filling.
BHD was in decline 3 years ago at a rate of -2 to -3% and Ryanair came and spectecularly reversed this. BHD have gained much publicity from its growing status much to the detriment of BFS's position. if Easyjet look at any moves this could very quickly force the hand of BFS management to seriously look at a Ryanair offering???
Would Aer Lingus seriously look at BHD as an alternative for its operation?
